摘要
AIM：To investigate the correlation between lumican（LUM）gene and high myopia in a Southern Chinese population.METHODS：The study comprised of 95 high myopia patients with a spherical equivalent≤-6.5 diopters（D）.The control group recruited 95 individuals with a spherical equivalent ranging from-0.5 D to＋0.5 D.Direct sequencing was used to detect the single nucleotide polymorphisms（SNPs）of LUM gene in coding region.Genotype distributions were tested for Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium.Genotypic and allelic frequencies were analyzed through Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test.RESULTS：We identified 3 SNPs of the LUM gene：LUM c.32（rs577456426）,LUM c.507（rs17853500）and LUM c.849（rs181915277）.Among the three SNPs,the genotype and allele frequencies of rs17853500 showed a significant difference between patients and control subjects（P〈0.05）.However,there were no significant differences in rs181915277and rs577456426 between the two groups（P〉0.05）.CONCLUSION：LUM c.507 polymorphism may be a risk factor for the pathogenesis of high myopia in the Southern Chinese population.
